Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 links Andouille sausage
- 1 cup Quick-cook grits
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Scallions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine milk and water, and bring to a gentle simmer.
Gradually stir in the quick-cook grits, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, butter, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Keep warm on low heat.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil, and once hot, add sliced Andouille sausage. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and slightly crispy. Remove sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Using the same skillet, crack eggs one at a time and fry to your preferred level of doneness (sunny-side up is recommended). Remove eggs and set aside on a plate.
To assemble, spoon a generous amount of cheese grits onto a serving plate. Arrange several slices of cooked Andouille sausage on top of the grits.
Place a fried egg on top of the sausage layer. Sprinkle with chopped scallions and a pinch of Cajun seasoning for extra flavor.
Drizzle with hot sauce if desired and serve immediately.
